If there was enough volume they could build the plane for less than

would replace all the old Piper, Cessna and Beech 2 and 4 seat

They sell new cars for way less and there looks to be more work in a
new
car
than a small plane.
You have confused the auto business with the airplane business. Auto
manufacturing allows economies of scale unatainable by aircraft mfg.
And
remember, auto makers break even or lose money on many of their models.
Like I said they just need the volume and it could be done.
Where is the demand going to come from? There are not enough people
interested in flying their own planes to even come close to providing
manufacturers any economy of scale.
